A Sunday morning ride before Obon. I went out for a little spin around Jokoji temple for the first time in a while.
I haven't been able to hold the Sunday Morning Ride lately, but for those who just want to get out and ride, please join our Sunday evening #GURUREN.
I've been using my POC Know glasses again recently. I say "again" because although I bought them two years ago, I treated them so poorly that the lenses ended up covered in scratches. So, I asked the folks at CLT—whom we also work with for RAL Grass—to renew them with EAGLE VIEW lenses.
These lenses emphasize green wavelengths to boost contrast, providing a vision that's like "naked eye + alpha." With a very high visible light transmission of 50%, I love using them for gravel rides and trail running as well. If you're troubled by scratched-up lenses, please feel free to consult us. Just wanted to let you know we can handle that too.
But here is today's main topic!!
Our End of Summer SALE was very well received in-store and on our Web Shop, but it seems summer isn't quite ready to end yet.
While it feels like the mornings and evenings have gotten a bit cooler lately, short sleeves and shorts are still the way to go during the day. I checked the weather forecast, and it's calling for highs over 30°C every single day—it's actually kind of a problem. There are still many of you who need short-sleeve jerseys, right?
So, we are offering 30% OFF select apparel items, including Summer Jerseys!!
Eligible items:
etc…
*Please note that we cannot accept returns or exchanges for SALE items.
I’d like to offer just a few recommendations.
Cafe du Cycliste summer jerseys are a sure bet. Thanks to a restock wave in early August, some models and sizes that had sold out in June/July are now back in stock.
The Monique on the left side of the photo arrived during the restock, so I haven't been able to properly introduce it yet, but despite being a summer jersey, it uses a solid mid-weight merino wool/polyester fabric. It's designed with long-distance events like brevets in mind, and its longer sleeves should still come in handy as the seasons change, don't you think?
The impact of the Zahira on the right is definitely striking! We only have stock left in the women's model, so if it caught your eye, act fast!!
While our stock is primarily women's sizes, Patagonia's Houdini Jacket is also essential for the coming season.
Originally designed for trail running, it's a single-layer jacket that comes in handy when temperatures drop or for high-intensity, short-duration winter runs.
It packs into its own chest pocket, making it easy to carry. It's also water-repellent and can handle light rain (though it can't handle a downpour—I've tested it many times!), so I often find myself throwing it into my backpack these days. Of course, it's great for riding as well, making it a good piece to keep on hand for when the morning and evening temperatures drop or for descents in the mountains!!
For this sale, you do not need to enter any coupon codes on the Web Shop. Eligible items are already marked with a sale banner, and the price shown reflects the discount from the regular price, so please check the individual product pages.
This is the final opportunity to get those jerseys and bib shorts at such surprising prices, so don't miss out!
